How New Technology Works
A Guide to High-Tech Concepts
By Robert J. Cone Revised and Updated by Patricia Barnes-Svarney
Oryx Press 1998
Page iv
The rare Arabian Oryx is believed to have inspired the myth of the unicorn. This desert antelope became virtually extinct in the early 1960s. At that time several groups of international conservationists arranged to have 9 animals sent to the Phoenix Zoo to be the nucleus of a captive breeding herd. Today the Oryx population is over 1,000, and over 500 have been returned to the Middle East.
The first edition of this book was titled Key to High-Tech: A User-Friendly Guide to the New Technology.
All illustrations in this edition drawn by Gregg Myers.
